Coffee in Carmel

I'm a sittin' at a table in Carmel, IN a sippin' on a bit of Hazelnut brew and a thinkin' about life :)
Lots of fun with my lil' cousins: Yatzee, speed Scrabble,  Nerdz, Clue, making jelly filled cookies, sledding, watching UK basket ball beat FL, listening to my aunt's amazing advice on life and relationships, shopping in Indianapolis, late night, phone convos with Tori: life is such a blessing.
I randomly stopped at a Carmel coffee shop to get some coffee and wireless. I finally, after a year, have a radio/cd player in my gorgeous lil' beat up tin can '95 Honda!  (thanks to my uncle) Next thing on my list before I head back to Lexington: buy a Brooke Fraser cd.

I've been a prayin' and a thinkin' a lot about the time I've been given to spend in MX (and not in college classes! woot!). Praise God that He is using me to love little ones! Ah! 

Amid all that God is bestowing upon me, I cannot forget about those in Haiti. The thousands that don't know Christ, are lying on pavement crying right now, in the depths of despair, hurting, questioning, angry. The deaths, the numbers are so many. My heart aches for them. I pray that thousands of other hearts will ache and will turn to our sovereign God and trust Him amid this calamity, trust Him and obey Him by helping those in Haiti by praying, giving, and going. 

May God's glory still be seen amid all the pain, may there be healing and renewal amid all the pain.

I'm packin' up and headin' back to the home of my favorite colors blue n' white.
